The 2022 MAW theme is
Nutrition Is a Patient Right . It is a call to action for clinicians to not only identify disease-related malnutrition , but to push the issue that patients have a right to be fed .
What have ASPEN learnt through 10 years of MAW ?
• One size does not fit all . Providing a variety of educational offerings is essential . Ondemand videos and easy-to-use practice tools are most useful for healthcare professionals .
• Organisations around the world are very engaged in MAW . Almost 30 % of ambassadors are outside the US .
• Peer-to-peer messaging is powerful . Members and ambassadors reach wider audiences using ASPEN ’ s ready-made social media posts .
What are the ongoing challenges of MAW ?
The ongoing primary challenges of MAW are :
1 . Determining how to reach those outside the nutrition field , and
2 . Engaging other clinicians who may not be educated or trained in nutrition but impact nutrition care
